Hull City exiting the Europa League on away goals before experiencing the group stages is devastating. It’s not a competition that everyone appreciates but it meant the world to fans of a club that has never had such exposure in its 110-year history.

While players from every club have been rewarded for their efforts at the traditional end of season awards bashes, I have decided to compile an alternative list of winners from my time of watching Hull during the campaign.

The first FA Cup final I watched was in 1988 - Liverpool vs. Wimbledon. It was arguably the biggest surprise in FA Cup final history and the day I, like millions of others before and since, fell in love with the showpiece occasion.

The FA Cup final against Arsenal on May 17 will undoubtedly be the biggest game in Hull City’s history. Yet, cruelly, The Tigers may well go into the game with something resembling a second-string side.
